Despite the cover image there's no writing posts this time (noticed after I posted,) Welcome to ahmadmanga Picks. Where I talk aboutposts I read and attempt to rtate them for fun (In Clarity/Novelty/Fun) just don't try to use my rating as comparison tool as I treat each case as separate.

Are rare and valuable retro video games a collectible or an investment?

Collecting retro games went strange route in the last years, people started buying because they think they can sell for more rather than buying to collect or to play. Some games that aren't even rare get sold at +$1000 these days.

I'm not a collector (I don't have the money) but I can feel the hard time real collectors have. Oh, and according to the post, thinking of retro games as investment is't good idea, there are better things to invest in.

This Emulator for old Adventure Games has been ported to the Nintendo Switch, homebrew creators really amaze me. I'm pretty sure that the official PC/Steam version of IHNMAIMS uses the same Emulator.

I heard about Unreal Tournament before but I never looked it up until today!! It's amazing (from that 1999 release year perspective.) The other games mentioned are great too and I would pt them in my list. Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil & Mario Kart.


Honorable Mentions:

@ezhadolphin's "MY TAMAGOTCHI FOREVER"
"Let's Nostalgic with Tamagotchi Through Mobile Version." I like the concept of the app~

@whatageek's "Old School Games I Wished Had Online Multiplayer"
Some of the best game are here, I probably won't like an online multiplayer version of Chrono Trigger, but Bomberman & Street of Rage? Totally~

@hadebaryor's "Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair"
If you read some of my posts before, you'd know I just like DanganRonpa. This post could've been better though.

@ambmicheal's "VALKYRIA CHRONICLES"
Valkyria Chronicles is in my wishlist, @ambmicheal makes reviews all the time and I'm glad he did this game.

You might be interested in my Steam Shop, I sell my leftover bundle games for SBD, some steemit gamers liked my service.


~ Hope you liked today's Collection ~
I like how I focused on one thing this time, maybe I'll make my next Picks like that too... Hmmm~
What do you think?
